Meteor – How to change LayoutTemplate in some expressions? Rail router

Router.configure({
 layoutTemplate: "defaultLayout",
 before: function (pause) {
 if(!Meteor.user()) {
 // render the login template but keep the url in the browser the same
 this.router.layout("loginLayout");
 this.render('login');

 // pause the rest of the before hooks and the action function 
 pause();
 }else{
 //Here we have to change the layoutTemplate back to the default
 this.router.layout("defaultLayout");
 }
 }
});

My application has multiple layouts to meet different needs, and I want to dynamically select it. For example, depending on the GET parameters, or if User login.

How can I do this?

You can actually use this.router.layout() in this hook (and possibly other hooks) to dynamically change the layoutTemplate. It’s a bit hidden, maybe Will change but I can change the layoutTemplate according to whether the user is logged in:

Router.configure({
 layoutTemplate: "defaultLayout",
 before : function (pause) {
 if(!Meteor.user()) {
 // render the login template but keep the url in the browser the same
 this.router.layout(" loginLayout");
 this.render('login');

 // pause the rest of the before hooks and the action function
 pause();
 }else{
 //Here we have to change the layoutTemplate back to the default
 this.router.layout("defaultLayout");
 }
 }
} );

If you have multiple layoutTemplates, this may be a bit complicated, because once the path is no longer paused, it will retain the new layoutTemplate you have set, unless you change it again.
